Gathering Spring

I am so impatient this time of year...I find myself short tempered, rushing around in circles, trying to do everything that spinning around in my head.... is it the wild anticipation of the most glorious of seasons, Spring? There is still a chill in the air, although the sunshine is bright and the gorgeous green poking through the brown earth is invigorating...I look around for anything that will satisfy the hunger for the colours that are images of Nature at this time of year! I can hardly wait! The robins have begun flitting about looking for mates, and already preening, then flying into our windows when they see their image and waking me regularly every morning with the thudding against the panes! They are very persistent!!! The anticipation of all that green which is about to peek through gently, in the next little while... This sweet handmade bag....pretty enough for a ladies Spring luncheon..... a lovely lightly antiqued and distressed lamp, perfect for any corner looking for a s

When travelling, for us girls, shopping is always a big part of the fun, and sourcing out those little hidden gems is the thrill of the hunt for me!!!  Malls just don't do it...individually owned shops which make me feel like I have just had an unforgettable, and personal experience, with the passion and heart of the owner at their core, is what I look for!!

On special occasions and holidays, Mom would gift us with her beautiful crocheted treasures....mine were pastel coloured because of my love of flowers, and Micki, my sister would receive brightly coloured ones to suite her decor! These are the lovely colours she used for me, and when pulled out of my dining bureau and grouped together they made a perfect little Spring vignette... Mom had great tension in her work, and it was executed with perfect stitches.... The small chocolate coated almond candies were Easter staples at our home, and Mom would fill all her candy dishes with them..... Here you can see here lovely handwork...the soft sherbert colours were perfectly suited to my love of transfe
